ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[F Gump]

It is not a "conspiracy theory" when it has been reported that he is the driving force behind some of these key decisions recently.

It was reported that the moves this summer were Kidd and Nico, NOT Cuban. Look, man, I am just going from what the reporters are saying.

Actually, what you are saying is very inconsistent -- like HF was saying, you are all over the lot on this stuff, where you talk out of both sides of your mouth at the same time on this stuff. You blame it on the reporters, but what they said, and what you are saying, isn't at all the same.

They said that Kidd was the one who wanted/didn't want this player or that. That's all.

But it is YOUR conspiracy, not anyone else's, that is claiming Kidd is acting as "the defacto DAL GM" (which infers extensive CONTROL, not just offering input on player acquisitions). And it is your claim, no one else's, that Kidd is actively trying to sabotage Wood, in some sort of power play.

If that's what you think, so be it, but then the dance all over the lot begins when the question arises of how Kidd is actually able to be making any GM decisions (if indeed he is) and how this power play could possibly happen. GM decisions are Nico's job, supposedly. And either Nico does have the GM job and is actually making the GM decisions, or he doesn't and isn't.

In addition, either Cuban must be involved in all of this and doing his micro-managing and backdoor GMing (which then allows the decision-making to get skewed and power plays to be part of the landscape) or he isn't.

But it's a binary choice in both instances, an either/or and not a both.
